  • Patent number: 6152316
    Abstract: A tamper-indicating closure of integrally molded plastic construction that includes a base wall having a peripheral skirt with an internal thread for engaging corresponding external means on a container finish to retain the closure on the finish. A tamper-indicating band is connected to an edge of the skirt by a plurality of spaced integral frangible bridges. A stop flange extends axially and radially from an edge of the band remote from the skirt, being flexibly connected to the band by an integral hinge portion. A plurality of circumferentially spaced openings extend axially through the band adjacent to the hinge portion, forming drain openings through which fluid may drain after the closure is applied to a wet container finish.
